A beautifully piece of literature that toes the line of magical realism and full on fantasy with the confidence of a true dancer. January while not a relatable character has a way of making you feel so deeply through this story within a story the author has intended. Off-handed inclusion of a novel written from and by an entirely different character’s perspective is what truly ties the book together because you are almost tricked into believing that it’s just that, a story. Until the illusion is broken and you can no longer ignore the little hints.
